Desmos Art Contest!
I’m excited about this contest, and plan to give my students an opportunity to submit. Desmos has helped me visualize equations better than I ever could before. It’s an excellent teaching tool and can also be used to make amazing art. And even animations, using sliders, and sounds, using the accessibility features. Maybe you could even make music with it. I look forward to seeing what students create. Deadline is April 10th, 2020!
Prizes listed on the website:
- $500, $250, and $100 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
- Desmos T-shirts for the winning student and their teacher
- A Desmos-sponsored pizza party (or equivalent) for the entire class
Open to students ages 13-18 years old. Click here for more details:
